Pro-life or pro-choice?
I am pro-choice, but I can understand and agree with some of the sentiment of the pro-life movement. Abortion is creepy and I don't like that it kills fetuses, those beautiful about-to-be babies, cute, snuggly babies that we all love so much. But I don’t think that’s unusual; I doubt anyone actually likes the idea of abortion. No one ever wakes up in the morning and says, “Oh, goody, I get to have an abortion today.” I’m even willing to concede that abortion may be evil. However, if it is, it’s a necessary evil, just like guns and wars and cops and everything else that frequently results in death and injury. But I don’t see the pro-life movement out there protesting war, or killer cops, or even the death penalty, so I find it hard to believe that they really hold all human life to be sacred. That’s the pro-life movement’s basic argument – human life is sacred, so because abortion is intentionally killing human life, it must be wrong – in fact it must be murder....
